The Eyebrows!

I despise that kind of eyebrows. Might as well transition now.

Does she do Joan Crawford drag on weekends?

Holy shit that's awful

When I see Insta pix like that, I feel so far away and detached from the gay community.

^^^ The gay community??? I think you're detached from reality.

Every time I encounter someone, male or female with over plucked brows, I know to keep them at a distance. They are always the type to lack self control, and are way too impulsive. The brows give them away, they couldn't stop themselves from plucking!

Plucked eyebrows, polished skin……no thank you.

yessss baby, those brows are LAID!

Waxed and threaded brows on men are SO flattering!

Waxing his eyebrows won’t hide the red face brought on by the alcoholism.

They're both dermatologists who post photos of themselves in speedos shrinkwrapped around their dicks.

They may be doctors, but their appearance would make it difficult to take them seriously.

A little tidying up of stray hairs or unibrow is fine - that shit is laughable.

They seem exhausting on every possible level.

They're not only trimmed and arched; they're painted on.

I pluck my eyebrow in the middle so that I will have eyebrowS, and I trim them because if left wild, they'd be Andy Rooney eyebrows. But that's the extent of it.

penish penish!

This seems like perfectly appropriate office behavior for a "doctor"

What has Sam Smith done with themself?

Are we sure they weren't born with eyebrows like that?

Maybe their mothers were frightened by Marlene Dietrich movies while they were in the womb.

Are the Joan Crawford brows enough to scare off DL's majority muscle and size queens?

I guess some people just lack that sense of aesthetics, or knowing, intuitively, what’s beautiful, and what’s not

Bear in mind that they are the type of cosmetic dermatologists who determine how to 'beautify' women with Botox and fillers and fat grafts, oh my...

I remember when this was a huge trend in the hispanic community . I hated it then,I hate it now. I immediately discount any man who has eyebrows like that. I dont care what they are attached to.

So there is this trend demonstrated in OP’s photo, where men over-groom their skin so that the ‘glow’ they achieve is actually inflammation. And that dewy look is such a turn off. It looks like sweat and skin oil, no matter what method they used to achieve it.

I’m guessing they keep their eyebrow pencils and telephone dialing pencils in separate containers.

Swish is in.

The eyebrows may be the least of the things I find repulsive about them.

They look like mannequins.

Andrew TMI has the same brow treatment.

@r13, "A little tidying up of stray hairs or unibrow is fine "

Unibrows are HAWT

I have a good friend who has been overdoing his eyebrows for some time now and I do not have the heart to tell him that it makes him look ridiculous.

Eyebrows cue grandiose narcissism!

R32 Just keep asking him "does that surprise you?" after you tell him things. Eventually he'll get it.

GURLEEN!

I find plucked, tweezed, and sculpted eyebrows so unappealing.

Get rid of unibrow - sure. Trim them if they're long enough to braid. But, if you're going that far, you've gone too far.

I always found young Ian Somerhalder to be spellbindingly beautiful, and his eyebrows had everything to do with it. If they had been shaped 'perfectly,' he would not have had the appeal he had.

Why do certain gay men destroy their natural faces? They look so plastic and akin feminine caricatures. How can anyone find this appealing? It’s even worse, as they age.

R38 Well they are a couple and so they must find it attractive.

There are gay men who are attracted to men and therefore like to look like men because they think that is attractive, and then there are gay men who believe beauty is an objective set of measures that can be pursued through effort. Those measures are all standardized and all-purpose without regard to individuality.

First is the 'perfect' gym body, with perfect meaning a bodybuilder set of defined muscles. ('Don't skip leg day!!')

Then there is flawless skin, the hallmark of beauty, and so any little blemish or line can be ironed out with botulism toxin, hyaluronic acid injections and makeup.

Then there's the small Northwestern European slightly upturned nose.

Now there's the huge plumped up lips.

The 'perfect' set of false teeth that are unnaturally marshmallow white.

The 'perfectly' drawn-on eyebrows that do not show a single hair but rather a sharply painted solid mass of black.

And these things aren't just seen as objective qualities that people are lucky to have; they are seen as things a person has to have in order to be valued. There's shame associated with not having them.

It makes me very sad. The US (and some other cultures) is really self-loathing and the things we loathe about ourselves tend to be normal and natural qualities. It's very weird that many—mostly women, gay men and young people overall—try to be perfect mannequins. It has now gotten to the point at which people replace mirrors with phones and apply filters that 'fix their flaws' (e.g., make them look like different people and erase their individuality) and they have no idea what they actually look like.
